doosispõhine

Doosispõhine is a type of pelagic fishing gear used in Estonian waters. It is a derivative of the doosisport gear, which originated in the region. The main feature of the doosispõhine gear is its simplified construction, making it easier to use and maintain.

The doosispõhine consists of a series of trammel nets that are suspended between two horizontal beams. The nets have a weighted bottom and a floating top, allowing the gear to descend to the sea floor or remain floating at a certain depth. This allows the gear to catch a variety of fish species, including cod, haddock, and other demersal fish.

The doosispõhine gear is commonly used by Estonian fishermen to target fish species in the Baltic Sea. The gear is typically deployed from small fishing vessels and is fished at depths ranging from 10 to 50 meters. The simplification of the doosisport rig to the doosispõhine has made it more accessible for smaller-scale fishing operations and has helped to increase the efficiency of fishing efforts in the region.

The Estonian Ministry of the Environment has designated specific areas for fishing with the doosispõhine gear, with the aim of regulating the impact of fishing activities on the marine ecosystem. Compliance with these regulations is monitored by the Estonian Fish Protection Agency, which also works to implement best practices for sustainable fishing in the region.
